I didn't see it in the comments, but FWIW you can choose specific dependencies. You can use regular [dependency specifiers](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/depend...), see [PEP 723](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/inline...).

Re: b. This is a place where remote standard dev environments are a boon. I'm not going to give each dev a terabyte of RAM, but a terabyte to share with a reservation mechanism understanding that contention for the full resource is low? Yes, please.

I wonder if anybody has used PostgREST (https://docs.postgrest.org/en/v12/) and explored this could provide a comparison. They seem largely similar with PostgREST having some feature advantages associated with being built on Postgres. Where does Manifest have an advantage?

We need a to-do app following these principles... then another for product management.

R is the better EDA language by far. Python has caught up a lot. Notebook diffs are now readable in git with the right tooling, that's huge.

The drum about not fitting into data pipelines... if you're literally using a bash pipe its true most R programmers have no idea how to do that. Otherwise, that is where Docker and k8s shine.

On packaging. R's package authority runs tests and ensures that all packages work with the latest version of their peers. The dependency heck is much less deep as a result.

We use R at my employer still because we put statistical data science into production. Our experts come to us comfortable with R. Reimplementation would be absurd.

Out of context (and with limited knowledge) comment 3 seems terrifying.

Relax, don't do it. When you want this, you're turning the relations in postgres into a contract. No service gets to persist internal state. If you're _really_ committed to domain driven design it could work... but you'd be better off with a light (but real) event driven system.

Effect size g is in units relative to variation. It's a corrected version of Cohen's d for cases of unequal variance between groups.

Right on the linked page is commentary about how the title is misleading. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-62398-w

I expect the emails themselves are just formatted strings. You could use an email parser to get the structure back out. You or someone else mentioned Zapier webhooks, so https://parser.zapier.com/ might be extra relevant.

I wonder if import taxation that reflects externalities (pollution) and costs that we carry to reduce suffering (child labor, minimum wage) would make a difference.

When Google got into self driving cars that was a thought some people had in earnest. Self-driving means a lot more time your eyes can be on ads.

There is also the question of what constitutes 'racist'. In earlier times the threshold/definition included malicious intent. In 2020 more people, myself included, are prone to include cases of benign neglect/inattention.

Yeah. It kind of is. If we trained as much for black faces as white faces, the algorithms would be better. Moreover, the background contrast for white faces is frequently worse (against backgrounds of white walls).

People in other professions have similar issues. Some 'smart' folks feel as if they should be able to understand everything. It probably often works for them, after all, how did they become 'smart'? But, it's a fine line between genuine interest and distrust per se. Try to assume good intent, consider it interest and grow your ability to explain. At some point you might have to call it as a poor use of time and move on, but if you can use the time to grow on both sides of the discussion - bonus.

Are you trolling right now? R's idioms for parallelism are pretty darn straightforward and easy to use. Effective too.

Effectively. These days you can use a Python kennel in notebooks and get syntax highlighting, but not much else. Python and SQL are supported but second class use cases.

One thing your rods (lower light receptor cells that are more dominant 1deg+ off the exact area of gaze) have peak sensitivity at the 'green' range of the spectrum. So, green will nuke your night vision whereas red (and to a lesser extent Amber) will leave your rods dark adapted.

In short, not entirely. Bayes' theorem helps when you have a correct model. People don't have access to truth or correct models. Generally people applying Bayesian methods are using cookie cutter formulas. These can't protect you from the many many ways one can muck up their data especially if you want your decisions and density intervals to be close to "right".
